Time for your Friday morning link round-up:
- Candidate Obama promised greater government transparency, but has he delivered as president? Sharon Theimer at the Huffington Post doesn’t think so.
- NASA celebrates Hubble’s 20th anniversary by releasing some stunning new pictures from the telescope.
- Woody Allen’s atheism: In an interview with Commonweal magazine, Allen talks frankly about what he sees as the “overwhelming bleakness of the universe.”
- 123 new species of plants and animals have recently been discovered in Borneo, including the world’s longest walking-stick insect. Do not click through if seeing the world’s longest walking-stick insect on someone’s face would freak you out.
- Into Great Silence showed us the lives of Carthusian monks; now No Greater Love gives viewers a glimpse into the lives of Carmelite nuns. Check out the trailer:
A final note about our own Bob Reilly: May 6-9 he will be participating in the Vienna Forum on “The Future of Europe and the Question of Islam,” hosted by the Educational Initiative for Central and Eastern Europe. Bob has written extensively on the subject of Islam and the West before, so I can only imagine that the rest of the weekend will be similarly enlightening. Check out the EICEE Web site here.
